Northwest Wine Academy

State of Washington | South Seattle College

FSi was the mechanical, plumbing, and winery system engineer for South Seattle Community College’s new Northwest Wine Academy. The project upgraded SSCC’s machine shop building into a teaching winery. The new facility includes classrooms, a teaching winery laboratory, a fully operational winery, a teaching kitchen, and a retail and tasting area. The winery area has barrel fermentation and storage, a case good storage area, and a press yard for grape processing. Our team designed a beautiful facility with state-of-the-art systems on a limited budget. This project received the 2015 ACEC Design Excellence Silver Award for “Meeting and Exceeding Client Needs.”
